More about today’s guest
He is 29 years old, and this is the story of how a practicing vascular surgeon from Moscow became a professional sommelier after moving to Kazakhstan. Wine had always been his second passion. Amateur wine master classes, tastings, his favorite bar ("Bigati bar"), and wine shop ("Drinx") were a significant part of his life as soon as he took off his medical gown and left the hospital. But it was in Almaty that this passion transformed into a profession. Unable to continue working as a doctor legally in Kazakhstan, he took a job as a waiter, like many others, to earn a living. Driven by a desire for further development, he met his future wine mentor, Artem Lebedev, who ignited his love for Italy and its wines. His trained mind, memory, and perseverance allowed him to achieve remarkable results in a short time. In just four months, he became a Vinitaly Maestro, and now he is preparing for the next stage—becoming an ambassador.
